Abstract
We propose an interactive algorithm to solve multiple objective nonlinear programming problems. The algorithm is based on the reference direction approach. The decision maker has to specify aspiration level for each objective. A number of solutions are generated along the projection of the reference direction onto the efficient surface. Each solution is an (weak) efficient solution. The algorithm is illustrated with an example.
